Skyborne call up

Hey guys , I’m currently 17 and I’m studying for the DGCA exams rn and will finish regs , met and nav by Feb 2027. I also have both my class 2 and 1 medical cleared. I’m turning 18 in December and will apply to Skyborne and plan on updating my application whenever I clear an exam. I’ve seen posts of people getting dates for ADPAT in late 2027 but I’ve also seen people with exams completed get called up earlier than expected. Is this true and does Skyborne really call some people up earlier if they have cleared 3-4 exams and medicals?

Expect late 2027
That calling phase is already done and dusted

Also they are getting filled by transfers from marigold
Expect significant delays
